Knee Pain & Knee Replacement

Know Your Knee

Your knee joint is the single largest and

one of the most complex joints in your
body. It has the most important role in
providing you with the ability to carry your
body weight and move around. The Knee
Joint is made of three different bones,
which are held together by various
ligaments and accompanied by soft
tissues, each of which has a different
specific role to play
The Bones :
1 : The Femur, or the thigh bone
2 : The Tibia, or the leg bone
3 : The Patella, or the knee cap

The Ligaments provide support and maintain these

bones in their native places during all kinds of
activities, whereas the menisci, which are thick disc
like structures present in between the bones act
mainly as shock absorbers. All the three bones
which form the joint are further covered by a layer of
tissue called as the Cartilage, which permits free
and smooth movement between the bone surfaces.
Due to its pivotal role in all kinds of activities of daily
living, the knee is subjected to various stresses and
injuries.
What is Arthritis ???

Arthritis is the result of a gradual

degenerative process which goes on in
the joint. This gradual wear and tear
eventually erodes the smooth lining of the
joint this is the CARTILAGE. Loss of the
cartilage lining leads to the bones rubbing
against each other and consequently the
symptoms of arthritis been to show and
progress.

Total knee Replacement

Total knee replacement has emerged as a highly successful and

beneficial surgical procedure in patients suffering from
advanced arthritis of the knee joint.

In a joint replacement surgery, the damaged surfaces of the

knee joint are replaced by metal prosthesis (artificial joints)
generally made of cobalt-chromium alloy or titanium. Metallic
prosthesis glides over a polyethylene bearing.

With the use of latest surgical techniques patients are offered a

pain free, and normal range of movement enabling them to
continue with their routine activities

The right decision about choice of an appropriate prosthesis for

a particular patient is made by the treating surgeon in
consultation with the patient, best suited to the patients knees
and demands.
Computer Assisted & Space Suit Technology
During computer-assisted surgery, a model of the knee is
developed using information taken from a special
instrument that outlines the contour of the knee. An
infrared camera attached to a computer sees signals from
this instrument. The computer then develops a model of
the knee. This image is projected onto a monitor and helps
guide the surgeon's attachment of the artificial implant to
the bone. Along with the surgeon's skill and experience,
CAS provides an internal view for more precise alignment
of the implant, which can contribute to the long-term
success of the total knee replacement.

Computer-assisted surgery is available for all total knee

replacement surgeries but is best used for difficult cases
like knock-kneed or bow-legged deformities. After surgery,
patients are usually in the hospital for about five days.
Rehabilitation begins in the hospital and will continue at
home. Patients usually use crutches or a walker for about
six weeks
